Cool Railcar Glamping Stays in La Junta, Colorado — Sleep Inside a Historic Caboose!
There’s no hotel quite like ours — because ours isn’t a hotel. Or a motel. It’s The Cool Caboose & Wonderful Waycar! It’s a collection of lovingly restored and creatively reimagined cool historic railcars, each one a one-of-a-kind retreat right on the Colorado high plains. La Junta is a train town, and If you’ve ever wanted to experience the golden age of American rail travel, this is your chance!
The Cool Caboose — 1928 AT&SF Railroad Caboose
Step aboard the Cool Caboose: our iconic 1928 Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad caboose, fully restored into a one-of-a-kind vacation rental. Inside, you’ll find a full bath and shower, a partial kitchen, and all the character of a genuine piece of American railroad history. History buffs, families, and couples all agree — a night in the Caboose is an experience unlike anything else.
